Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours clear deep golden / pale amber leaving some clearly seen legs on the glass with a swirl. Smell is heavy fruity with concentrated winter apple must, caramel, vanilla fudge, white raisins, honey, sherry, wood and hints of citrus peal. Taste is sweet, slightly sour and fruity. Mouthfeel is tiny viscous, oily, slightly tart, slightly sticky, tiny astringent, slightly boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and slightly sour with sweet full flavoured apples, caramel, vanilla, white raisins, sherry, minerals and hints of orange peal and alcohol. Tiny bit hot perhaps but overall a beautiful ice cider with lovely white raisin oxidation and vanilla fudge barrel presence. Integrated and oily. Slight pity that most of the tropical fruit character from the base is gone but the raisin and winter apple replacement is lovely. Will be exciting to see how it develops.

2013 bottle at 11% thanks to Blomster. It pours clear rich golden. The aroma is mellow, sweet, earthy, apple skin, must, creamy, tannins, light vanilla and wood. The taste is sweet, tangy, tart, fresh acidity, apple pie, warming alcohol boost, oily honey, pear and some custard with sweet, tangy finish. Medium body and slick mouth - feel. All comes together very well. Tasty.

Bottle shared in Watford - many thanks to Paul for this juice. Pours clear gold with a few bubbles on top. Glorious aroma, lots of dense ripe apples, hints of honey. Medium to heavy sweet with plenty of gooey apples, a bit of lemon, faint cinnamon, hints of salt. Full bodied and lightly chewy. Moderately warming on the finish, with more rich apple character, touches of spice, cleansing acidity. Beautiful beverage.
